Just a question: Do you believe that these drivers come sooner
from pushing a release through the door? I cannot see the
relation between incrementing the release number before time and
having drivers available. If 4front hasn't drivers yet, do you
expect them to grow from calling something 4.1?
If a product lacks features this important to you, consider not
using it at all. If you want some of the new features and still
miss this very one(?) thing, think of replacements. Have a 4.0
box do its work and play the sound somewhere else (ever heard of
rplay and other networked sound system? noone ever said a
computer must have a noise board built in just to produce some
sounds).
